Feed baby as usual, make sure LO is burped well, swaddle snug, not too tight and lay baby down. Sounds so easy, right? Lol. Possibly use a mobile with calming music? All 4 of my babies were placed in the crib from day one, so that's what I have always done, and worked for us. Good luck!

So funny. Just put my DD (12 weeks today) in the crib for first time (1hr, 20min and counting). I'm on the futon in the nursery. She was overtired and cranky tonight (as am I) so I thought, "Why not try to put her in crib in her room tonight? Won't be like we're making a happy baby unhappy tonight." Put on her PJs with diaper change, put her in sleep sack in our bedroom, nursed her in bed as usual, but put her in crib while drowsy with paci. Brought the usual ocean sounds CD we play to fall asleep in here too. So all has been the same for her nighttime routine except location. She fell asleep?? But how long will it last? Good luck to you!!

I had my son in my room the first 4 months. The second night he slept 8 straight hours, I put him in his crib in his room. I also swaddled and used some soothing music. He had no issues. I don't even think he noticed. I plan to do the same with this LO.

Yes!! And she did it Tuesday too! She wakes for her usual 2:30 feeding and when she falls asleep after nursing, I put her right back in the crib. She does awake before/after nursing time and cries out once or twice, so I put a paci in her mouth which settles her and she falls back asleep. I hope to stop the paci thing after she is a full-swing crib sleeper. I also bought a white noise machine. Should get here Monday. I'm hoping the continuous noise will help her stay asleep and limit paci wakes. I'm also still sleeping in futon in her room, but I hope to return normal bed next week. I think she was just ready, to be honest. How is it going for you?

Lo is sleeping in the napper in our room for 2-3 hour stretches at night. 2 nights ago she slept over 4 hours which was amazing. I'm hoping she does that more often. This weekend I'm going to start putting her in the crib for naps. She hates sleeping flat on her back so I have to train her to do that.
